June 19, 2026

Ayeeeee, Happy Juneteenth, everyone! Let's keep this short and sweet because I know none of us are trying to read a novel right now. We've got places to be, naps to take, and weekend plans to make. Reminder: I made a Juneteenth guide for your weekend so don’t miss out on all the festivities!

I will say this though: I've been getting super into country lately, which feels a little unexpected. Every time I asked people where to start, the answer was always Kacey Musgraves. Now we're giving away tickets to her Toyota Center show on October 5, so y'all better beat me to it.*

FLOAT THE GUADALUPE RIVER

Nothing says summer in Texas quite like a day on the Guadalupe. River Sports Tubes has your tubing adventure covered, whether you're bringing a few friends or organizing the entire group chat. Cool water, sunshine, and zero responsibilities for a few hours? Sounds like a pretty solid plan to me.*

LOCAL’S LIST: JORDAN THOMPSON’S FAVORITE ANTIQUE STORES

Olympic medalist and LOVB Houston star Jordan Thompson is absolutely dominant on the volleyball court, but off the court? She's an antiquing girly with a serious love for interior design. We caught up with Jordan to talk Houston, hidden gems, and what she’s hunting for when she's not busy winning medals. Safe to say her Pinterest boards are probably just as impressive as her volleyball résumé.

Round up your soccer crew and catch the World Cup quarterfinal action at Bad Astronaut Brewing on July 11. The vibes should be immaculate.*
